John,

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! As we continue our mission of elevating and empowering all individuals affected by obesity, we have partnered with Geisinger Health to give you an incredible chance to make a powerful impact by donating to the Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Now through August 31, donations to the Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar!

The Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund is vital in our efforts to bring in-person education and support to everyone who needs it. It's our goal to ensure all those who aspire to attend our national in-person convention, Your Weight Matters - Engage, are able. Happening this year in Orlando, Florida, YWM2023-Engage is the nation's leading conference dedicated to bringing together individuals who desire to learn more about their weight and health, delivering science-based strategies from the country's leading experts. Attendees gain immense support and a sense of community from others who understand the challenges of living with obesity.

For some people, receiving a scholarship to YWM2023-Engage means learning how to take control of their health to have a better quality of life for themselves and their loved ones. For others, a scholarship to YWM2023-Engage means finding a community of support to root for them when they feel like they have no one else. Sometimes, a scholarship simply means someone can put themselves first after spending time taking care of others. Act now to give someone the support they need.
